Just a quick note to explain why I've dropped off of the face of cyberspace: I'm teetering on the edge of five exams to finish a degree in International Development and Social Anthropology, which means I'm reading some heavy shit and trying to trick my brain out with some knowledge. I will resurface in earnest some time in June, methinks... I have a bunch of rad stuff going on over the summer, like dancing at Larmer Tree Fest with Sam Hasthorpe and Shisha Soundsystem, and I'll also be running classes and workshops all over the place. As soon as I get to have my brain to myself again, I will use my powers for good and get a lot of really cool stuff going.

Also, you may have heard me squealing about getting married this fall. Yep, that's happening, too. So there's a chance that I may disappear again toward the end of summer, when the wedding boat docks and it's all hands on deck.

For now, I'm going to carry on reading about gender theory and pertinent ethnographies... Here's hoping I can impress my professors before it's all said and done....
